I can accept uncertainty when it comes.


I can accept uncertainty when it comes because uncertainty is inevitable.

I can try to resist it by sticking to strict routines and avoiding exploration of new situations, new people, new ideas. But if I resist uncertainty, I will never take chances. If I never take chances, I will never know what I can achieve.

I can accept uncertainty because I know that I never have to face more than what is right in front of me. I do not have to face next week or next year. I do not even have to face tomorrow. I simply have to face this moment.

I open myself up to the possibilities that come along with uncertainty. Life is not meant to be a fixed course, driven in circles, with my gazed fixed only on the bumper ahead of me. Life is a hike through the mountains, with any number of possible trails, some more challenging than others, but all of them beautiful in their own way.

If the path I expected to take is suddenly obstructed, I will take another. And if that one becomes blocked, I will take yet another. I trust myself to put one foot in front of the other.

If I get lost for awhile, I will keep walking, certain that, in time, I will find my way. Perhaps I will end up on the same path from which I started. Perhaps I will end up somewhere entirely new.

Either way, I will continue to explore, to keep myself open to possibilities that could lie just around the next bend.

Self-Reflection Questions:

  1. What have I avoided doing because of the risk of uncertainty involved?
  2. What have I wanted to try but avoided doing because of uncertainty?
  3. What is a small step I will take today to begin exploring this possibility?

I can tame my fears because I am in control.


Because I am in control my fears are quelled.

Today I am in control of my emotions and my life and I need not worry about what tomorrow may bring because I am fully capable of anything thrown my way. This gives me confidence to try new things and experience new places. If I am in a situation that does not feel comfortable to me I can choose to leave because I am in control.

I have often felt afraid when I was uncertain about things around me and in my life. Not knowing what to expect would frighten me and I often missed out on things I would otherwise enjoy.

When I feel prepared for a situation, I do not feel afraid. Although my fears may not go away all together, I feel more secure when I know that I am in control.

I may not be able to control other people in my life, but I am always in control of myself. I am in control of whom I choose to be with, where I choose to go and when I choose to return.

I will no longer miss out on experiences due to uncertainty or fear because I know that I am in control of myself and my immediate environment. I am in control of all my emotions and no one can make me feel uncomfortable without my permission. I am no longer controlled by fear. Knowing that I am in control allows me to experience my life in a confident manner.

If I begin to feel uncertain or afraid today, I will take a deep breath and tell myself that I am in control and I can tame my fears. No one can make me feel fear unless I allow it. And no one else can ease my fears but me because I am in control.

Self-Reflection Questions:

  1. What makes me feel the most fearful?
  2. What can I do to acknowledge my control in a situation that causes me fear?
  3. How am I in control of my life today?
